No one likes being involved in a crash, but the four motorcyclists shown in the following videos really don’t have anyone else to blame for their misfortunes other than themselves.
We’ll start with a dashcam clip from Thailand and two scooter riders, who one after the other rear ended a taxi. Amazingly, both landed on their feet avoiding the worst. Just thinking out loud here, but perhaps there’s a lesson here about keeping a distance and paying attention to what’s going on in front of the road.
Part deux is about a 2002 Yamaha R1 biker who quickly found out that wheelies can turn out ugly, while in the third video, the Kawsaki ZX6R rider may need to reassess his corner-entering strategy.
About the last accident, one of the YouTube commentators said: “Normally I would be on a riders side… but damn dude. Crossing double White lines in blind corners? You must be crazy… lucky you didn’t kill anyone in the car. Hope you’re alright though… that was a hard tumble.”
Watch all three below.
